As number 20 to go out of the 25 riders in the class, Spooner – also known as the master of the faster – shaved off two second’s on then leaders Albert Zoer and Vigo’s (Orlando x Corleone) time. Richard cut all the turns on this his speedy eleven year old Vectha-mare and raced down the final line of the eleven fence track – the remaining five riders had no chance to catch him. Third place went to another Dutch rider; Jur Vrieling on Wittinger (Indoctro x Nimmerdor).
